Thanks

First off, I would like to apologize for not posting, but it's been hectic. So now for my post.


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving when the Indians and the Pilgrims got together and ate a bunch of food. There has recently been a turn of events in my life that has made me realize that  I have so much more to be thankful for than I am. You know, sometimes you just take things for granted. 


 For 8 years, my siblings and I have been fortunate enough to have a private gym teacher, Ms. Karen, who comes to our house to give us a class. We jog and do push ups and "harder stuff" for a while and then we play a game. Miss Karen's husband was just offered a job. Now, I am happy for Mr.Otto but this job happens to be in Oman. Now you can imagine my distress when my gym teacher that I have known for ages and that has been such an inspiration and incredible influence in my life is moving to Oman.


 So this Thanksgiving, I realized that everything changes in life. This year has been a year of many changes for me. And this one will be the hardest for me. When Miss Karen told me over the phone I nearly dropped it and as soon as she hung up I burst into tears. Then she came over to have class with us and I burst into tears in front of her. Miss Karen and I have been together for years and in all the years I have not once seen her cry, not even when she pulled her hamstring right off her bone. And when Miss Karen (almost) cried silently, this made me want to cry harder but she told me to stop. 


So this Thanksgiving count your blessings because they can disapear within a five minute call. 


Miss Karen leaves in January and I'm going to enjoy every single class I can with her.


Don't just count your blessings tomorrow but always think about how fortunate you are. Even if you don't have much you still have these three things.
1. Life
2. Someone who loves you and or all your fingers
3. A computer to read this blog.


Thank you,
